It is important to deepen the understanding of how the peace and prosperous future of the world and the Indo-Pacific is perceived and hence it is very important to have intellectual input to take action on it, Taga Masayuki, Consul-General of Japan, said.
Mr. Masayuki said this was exactly what former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe [who was assassinated last week] wished to see, where India and Japan could cooperate much openly and strongly and see a free and open Indo-Pacific and an open world.
The Consul-General was speaking at the release of a resource paper on ‘India and Japan in Free and Open Indo Pacific’ by the Indo-Japan Chamber of Commerce and Industry on Monday. “The resource paper is very useful to go through. More people will understand the discussion that was done in the symposium [held earlier],” he said.
